Before you book: air source heat pump installation in Hull
In Hull, as anywhere in the UK, the heat pumps that perform well are the ones designed around low flow temperatures and sized from a proper heat loss calculation.
Installers working in Hull plan the order of work so heating and hot water are off for as short a time as practical. In Hull, cylinder space is planned with you, often in an airing cupboard, utility room or garage.
We survey your home, design a heat pump system around its real heat loss, and manage the installation from the first visit to the MCS certificate.
- Homes replacing a gas, oil, LPG or electric heating system
- Households with room for a hot water cylinder
- Houses with reasonable insulation, or a plan to improve it
What's included
- MCS registration and certificate, plus network operator notification
- Commissioning, handover and a walk-through of the controls
- Radiator and pipework changes where the design needs them
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme application in England and Wales where eligible
- Free home survey and room-by-room heat loss calculation
Many homes in Hull have a side passage or rear garden with room for an outdoor unit, and the survey checks airflow and distance from neighbouring windows.
Grants and rules for heat pumps in England
Homes in Hull can use the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, which takes £7,500 off the cost of an air source heat pump when it replaces fossil-fuel or electric heating. Replacing oil or LPG heating qualifies for £9,000 for installations from 21 July 2026 to 31 March 2027, and air-to-air systems for £2,500. The MCS-certified installer named in your quote applies for the grant and deducts it from the price.
There is no VAT on installing a heat pump anywhere in the UK until 31 March 2027. In England most houses can have an air source heat pump under permitted development, provided the unit meets the MCS noise and siting standards; the old 1 m boundary limit was removed on 29 May 2025. We flag listed buildings, flats and sensitive conservation-area positions at survey.
What to budget for air source heat pump installation in Hull
Guide prices for Hull and the rest of the East Riding of Yorkshire are shown below, installed and inc VAT. We publish ranges rather than a single figure because design details move the price, and the written quote after survey fixes it.

Short winter days in Hull and what they mean
On the shortest day Hull gets only about 7 hours 25 minutes of daylight and the noon sun sits around 13° above the horizon. Northern winters tend to be longer, so a well-designed, efficient system matters more here because it runs for more of the year.
The steps for air source heat pump installation in Hull
- Send your postcode and a few details, or use the guide price tool.
- A surveyor visits your Hull home, measures every room and checks where the outdoor unit can go.
- You receive a heat loss design and a fixed written quote, with any grant shown where it applies.
- Installers fit the unit, cylinder and any radiator changes, typically over 2–4 days on site.
- The system is commissioned, set up with weather compensation and handed over with the paperwork.
Air source heat pump installation in Hull: questions
Where would the outdoor unit go on a Hull house?
Usually at the side or rear, on a level base with space around it for airflow and servicing, away from bedroom windows where possible. The surveyor checks positions at your Hull home.
How soon can you survey a home in Hull?
Survey dates depend on how busy installers are in the East Riding of Yorkshire. We offer the next available dates when you enquire and confirm them in writing.
Can you service a heat pump in Hull that someone else installed?
Yes. We arrange servicing and repairs for most air source heat pumps in Hull, whoever fitted them. Tell us the make and model when you book.
Can I cancel after accepting the quote?
Nothing is ordered until you accept the written quote. Where the contract is agreed away from our premises, for example at your kitchen table, you can cancel within 14 days under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. If you ask us to start sooner and then cancel, you pay only for work done up to that point.
Do I need new radiators for a heat pump?
Not always; many homes keep most of their radiators and change only a few. Because a heat pump runs at a lower water temperature than a boiler, each radiator gives out less heat, so the survey checks every room against its heat loss. Rooms where the existing radiator falls short get a larger one, with a guide price of £250–£450 each, installed and including VAT.
